About Us

Who?

This is a camp for boys and girls ages 9-15. We start at age 10, but will accept a few 9 year olds who have summer or fall birthdays. Our campers stop attending after freshman year in high school. Kids aged 9-11 may join as Surf and Turf Juniors!

Where?

Counsellors arrive at 8:00 AM every morning and we start to enter the bus at 8:45. Edgemont School in the same named park is our starting point every day. We head out on a different adventure, from New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania to as far as Canada and California! We are a day camp as well as overnight.

What?

We hike, bike, swim, tour, and boat everywhere at an adventurous speed. We are guided by the best teachers found in Montclair! They are experienced and have already guided thousands of kids this age. Many have won awards as creative teachers. We have certified lifeguards, EMT's, and First Aid Trained leaders.

There are two planned for this week. 2A is our popular week for those who love beaches and want to swim. 2B is a trip we wanted to do for years: horseback riding! We will be located at a dude ranch as well as visit farms, an ice caves hike, and visit a wolf preserve!

This another week where two different trips are planned. 3A is our big trip across the United Sates to California: the trip of a child's dream! We will be in Yosemite National Park for a week.
